Installing a sub and amp, NEED HELP
 
I have a 2004 Rx8 non bose system. I just bought a JL w3 10" and a JL 250.1 amp.
Is there a do it yourself on an amp install on the stock NON bose single cd changer headunit? I've been looking forever and cant find it if there is.
I need to know the best way to run the power wire through the car and how to take off the stock headunit.
Also, do I need any kind of adapter to the back of the headunit or does it have RCA inputs? and when I take off the stock head unit (once i fugure out how or someone tells me) which wire in the harness is the remote wire?

Thanks again for youre guys' help!!

There is no need to remove the stock headunit. Bose or not. I have only seen ONE factory headunit that has RCA outputs in my entire life. And I use to install for a living. (It even looked aftermarket, made by rockford fosgate. New Tiburon's?)

Anyway, a simple line output converter can be tapped off the rear speakers. There is a walkthrough on how to run the power wire in a sticky at the top of this forum. In short, you can run in down the passenger side if you remove the washer fluid bottle and drill a hole. (I chose this route. Shorter. Easier.) Or you can run it over to the driver's side and through an existing grommet.
